My 2 Best Things...
My girl is 3 months old and getting so fun.
Dean and Craig took advantage of the good weather and roped one last time before winter.
This was Josie's first time on a horse

These two pictures are my favorite. I remember Leann being so little, she was in sixth grade and thought she was so cool. She would hug me every time I came over, she is such a sweetheart. She is turning into such a pretty girl and is still so sweet. She just turned 16 so we had take some pictures, doing her hair took me way longer than the actual pictures.

Happy Birthday Leann, We love you!

Halloween


Josie loved eating her costume more than wearing it. The girl loves texture.

On Halloween we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Richins.
Grandpa Virg loves Josie, he is so sweet, she however is not.
Josie is there 61st grand baby, so my grandma had some little onsies embroidered for her that have a little 61 on them. I wanted her to get a picture with them but she obviously didn't want to, and the sad part is you can't even see the 61.
Josie and I were lucky enough to spend a couple of days with these folks. We didn't get any pictures of Addy but she was a great host, Thanks.


I had an adult experience this weekend. Every year my Grandma Hall has a great Halloween party that I love. My stake had Stake Conference (who does that on Halloween), Dean said we needed to go; I was bothered but I went anyway, I'm mature.

More proof that Dean is a good Dad. He still doesn't do diapers but he loves this little baby.

I told Dean that we couldn't go to bed until Josie was asleep he said she could just lay by him. And then this turned into...

This.
He really was dead asleep and forgot all about parenting.
Dad's hat

I found these next two pictures on my camera. The weird part is they were obviously taken inside the bathroom at the church. Either there was too many people in this single person bathroom or Leann took these herself.

This never happens, it was a tender mercy for a mom who had enough. I needed sleep and so did she. She never sleeps on her back and never falls asleep on her own. Well except this time.

I love the pictures! Thanks for the update. She is getting more of a personality. I am glad that you blog so that we can be a part of her growing up. I love you all! Give her a squeeze.

I love the pictures and how you did the layout, I can never figure out blogger! She is just gorgeous and beautiful, I'm sad we didn't get to see you on Halloween. I asked Grandma where you were because I knew you were coming down and I about fell off my chair when she said you went to Stake Conference. Props to you for being righteous.

You are not mature. A mature individual would have not posted about their maturity:)... but you are funny. I love the sucking her fingers thing. She looks so cute. I am sure Dean planned on her falling asleep just like she did in the bottom picture. He just had his timing wrong. Sorry I missed your return call. I have some stuff to talk to you about if I can remember it & you answer your phone at the same time.

I was very upset to not see you on Halloween! But I guess that is good you went to stake con. But plus that's really weird cause sunday was fast sunday. Anyways, Josie is so cute! I saw her at Gram's today but you were gone and she was sleeping so I didn't get to play with her.

The pictures of Leann are SO cute!! You did a great job on her hair and she is such a pretty girl!!
